Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

Families find trustworthy child care providers on Sittercity who are passionate about providing safe and enriching care for their children. Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art.

Hi! I am currently searching for my next position, as my current family is moving. I have full availability starting in August/September! I am from Haddon Twp but now live in Blackwood/Gloucester Twp. I am a 32 year-old momma to an 8 year old girl. My ultimate goal is to earn my degree in nursing a focus in L&D or pediatrics. I've been sitting children since I was 10 years old. I've held various jobs from occasional sitting to long term nannying & mothers helper. I'm experienced with children from newborns to 12 years old, including many sets of multiples. I am the oldest of 6 children and many many cousins. Housekeeping, and food preparation are also not a problem! I believe in teaching children and allowing them to grow to be the absolute best they can be through activities, reading, and playing. I also know basic ASL to teach children, allowing them to better communicate when they have yet to learn how to speak. I was CPR certified, and I have absolutely no problem getting re certified or any additional certifications!

I’m a recent empty nester (2 daughters), former certified elementary/special education teacher (10 years), former nanny, and CPR/First Aid certified infant room daycare teacher for the last 10 years. Unfortunately that last one is being sold this week so I’m looking for a family who is seeking a nanny/sitter 2-5 days/week, preferably between the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm. In addition to raising my 2 daughters, I’ve worked with children (babysitting, teaching, tutoring, and licensed daycare) most of my life. I truly love working and playing with children, have an abundance of patience, and have extensive experience with infants. Please reach out if you would like any other information.
